The pressure was on Dier to complete the job for England and he did so with aplomb firing low beyond David Ospina.

Here are England’s player ratings from a dramatic night in Moscow.

England

Jordan Pickford: Criticised keeper well protected and little to do until injury time. Gathered Quintero and Falcao shots but fine save from Uribe led to corner from which Mina levelled at the death. 7

Kyle Walker: Mindful of picking up second booking. Used pace to cover Colombian counters and quick to support Trippier. Sloppy in possession late on. 7

John Stones: Penalised at England corner after push on Lerma. Kept forwards quiet. Lucky not to be seen striking Falcao. Superb in possession and with passing. 8

Harry Maguire: Stood up well to block Cuadrado effort on edge of area and carried ball forward well. Quick to snuff out danger but beaten in air for Mina leveller. 8

Ashley Young: Utility man saw plenty of the ball in opening minutes as England started on front foot. Never stopped running at either end and experience came to fore as Colombians used every trick in the book. 6

Jordan Henderson: Place in side became more secure without playing last week but gave ball away twice early on. Went down after being caught in the neck by Barrios but led by example after the interval and held team together. Missed his penalty but ultimately got away with it. 7

Jesse Lingard: Worked hard and made opportunities with clever movement and positioning. Struggled to get much joy from giant defenders. Control let him down on occasion. 6

Dele Alli: Brought back after missing two group matches and provided early impetus before injury struggle. Headed just over on the stretch but had a limited overall impact. 6

Raheem Sterling: Linked up well with Lingard, displaying quick feet. Found himself clear but had a shot blocked by Davinson and made a fine turn away from same man. 6

Harry Kane: Headed over cross from angle but well policed. Caught by Arias and won penalty before keeping nerve to chip home. Busied himself throughout and converted in the shootout. 6

Substitutes

Eric Dier replaced Alli for final 10 minutes in effort to see out the victory and netted the decisive spot-kick.

Jamie Vardy came on in place of Sterling at the end of normal time.

Danny Rose took Young’s place in extra-time and short across face of goal.
